[Routine Help] 4th week on Tretinoin - how to add other actives in regime.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi all, I (M44) recently started to build a skin care regime focused on anti aging (to target fine lines, minor dark spots on skin, acne scars and medium sized pores).My routine is as follows:A) morning: Laniege multi deep foam cleanser, Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid lotion as toner, the ordinary buffet, Vit C serum from Peter thomas roth or the ordinary, moisturiser (curel - Japanese drugstore brand) and spf 50 (eau thermale avene) + inkey list caffeine eye serumB) night: Hadalabo oil cleanser, laniege multi deep foam cleanser, Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid lotion as toner, various sheet mask (sometimes), tretinoin 0.05, moisturiser (curel or olay regerist retinol 24) + Estee lauder eye cream or olay regenerist retinol 24 eye creamObservations.Week 1 of tret. I applied 2 days on and 1 day off. No visible difference, except face feels heavy/oily or very well moisturised from all the products, this is an improvement as I used to have very dry skin st night. I also had one or two pimples appear.Week 2. I increased tretinoin to 3 days on and 1 day off. Tried to use the ordinary latic acid together with the vit c but decided to drop it after 1 or 2 times as I felt it made no face slightly sensitive. Some red marks like spots (non raised or inflamed) appeared on my forehead.Week 3. Same as week 2.Week 4. Started to increase to 4 days on and 1 day off. Red marks or spots have more or less subsided. Noticed minor peeling around corner of lips and around nostril.Questions:How to I tell if it is safe to add lactic acid to my regime. I planned to use it in the day before vit c serum (as per suggested use for Sunday riley good genes. I am using the ordinary's)?Can I use and how to use productsthat cause a tingling sensation like the lotus youth preserve mask from fresh, or the vit c suspension from the ordinary.How to use the aha bha 30% peel from the ordinary safely while on tretinoin? Or do I even need it?Hada labo Hyaluronic Acid lotion is not actually a toner, do I need to introduce a toner to my routine?Can I stop or reduce the use of tretinion eventually? It seems that tretinoin helps to speed up the cell renewal and repair various damage done by way of cell renewal, but once the damage is repaired, do I still want the cell to renew faster than it should?
